කැනඩියානු ජාතික ගීය හෙළ බසින් Sinhalese version of O Canada (Canadian National Anthem)
ඔි කැනඩා…
අප මවුබිමයි - දිනූ දේශයය්
ජාතිකාභිමානයෙන්…
දේශානුරාගයෙන්…
හෘදයංගව - අපි දකිනෙමූ
තේජවත් - නිදහසේ - සුරපුරක්
දස දෙසින් - දැඩි දෑත් පා
රකිනෙමූ…
අප උරුමය නම් ඔබ වේ
පූජනීය අනුහසින් -
රැකදෙවා - අප දේශය
ඔි කැනඩා…
ඔබ රකිමූ - එකමුතු වී
ඔි කැනඩා…
ඔබ රකිමූ… එකමුතු වී…

Note: The phrase “O Canada” is sung the same manner also in Sinhalese; “ඔි” (= ඔි තොමෝ) lyrically meaning “the dignified she - motherland Canada”.
